to Old Harry anymore? Him and Carney are just propaganda stooges for Obama anymore. I think they have lost most of their credibility from both sides. I hope they both keep mouthing off though, because I think they are helping the republicans more than hurting them. People are beginning to see how crazy and dishonest the Dems are. So keep talking Harry!!

he said "one of the main causes." But you aren't into any negativity on the Koch brothers or what they do, are you? They can do no wrong, even though they, too, are old men. (I don't know how much they slobber. Very secretive old chaps.)

#2 -- I don't know about what Reid actually knows. It's almost like he either just discovered Koch money (I'm pretty sure he doesn't get any because you don't bite the hand that feeds you in our bribery Capitol) or the Dems, following the most recent SCOTUS decision on money in politics, thought they'd better educate the nation on what's going down -- mainly that the Kochs are in a big-spending mood, purchasing Republicans all over the place (like our governor who is friends with them). Maybe the Kochs just want to know it works. They're on a mission and I'd say time is running out. Have they passed their brand of paranoid libertarianism on to their heirs?

Hey, wouldn't you be a Koch clone if you were inheriting all that? Actually, maybe you are a Koch clone and all you'll inherit is the mess they're making out of what used to be a great country.

#3 -- No, they're not the whole show up there in right-wing billionaire land. They've just been so dang sneaky, and they still won't come out and debate anything. I guess you call that "stealth."

Can you explain to me how evangelicals feel comfortable with a guy like Sheldon Adelson running the GOP? And did you see Rupert Murdoch out shmoozing with Rand Paul at the Kentucky Derby? How much money will old, slobbering Rupert spend on Rand?

I think we have accepted a bribery system in Washington and the states and we are increasingly, for that reason, taxed without representation. We are an oligarchy, which is not a representative republic or democracy (in many ways the same thing).

"When it comes to TV ads that have aired in the past six weeks, Republican-allied groups outspent their Democratic counterparts by 8 to 1. This figure comes from an NPR analysis of data gathered by ad-tracking firm Kantar Media's CMAG, and by the Washington Post."

He owns this administration, including Obama. At least the Koch money is trying to save this country as we know it, not destroy it like Soros wants. Plus the Dems have all that Hollywood money behind them, along with Zuckerberg"s. So dont lecture us on the Koch brothers. By the way how did Harry get so rich since being a senator?

concerning the recent SCOTUS decision that fell to Justice Roberts. As he opened Pandora's Box for unlimited money in the political auction, he claimed it was because there is no connection between this money and "corruption."

If truth were a sacred temple, that would be blasphemy. You guys pride yourselves on your lie detection prowess. Is this a lie, or what? It certainly isn't reality. How could one of the most brilliant legal minds in our country not know what "bribery" or "corruption" mean?

Maybe we've found another slobbering old man at the nation's helm. Government by dementia? Taking money from oil barons with dementia?

Have you guys got anything to say about "systematized bribery" as Ronald Reagan's son calls it? Or is that above your pay-grade?

Here was journalistic investigator Greg Palast put it in an interview:

" It went back to a company called Triad, which is the name of Chinese money-laundering games. Behind Triad was Koch Industries.

Now, here's the kicker, okay? At that time it was a crime for corporations to give money to elections campaigns. So this was another federal crime committed by the Kochs.

So that's how we have todayânow we zip the tape forward to Citizens United decision in 2010 by the U.S. Supreme Court. Theyâthrough their massive donations, they were able toâand games, they were able to get the court that they wanted.

At that point, there was this little group called Citizens United, which somehow hired the most expensive lawyer in the United States, Ted Olsen, to argue their case at the Supreme Court. But no one asked, how did they get Ted Olsen? He didn't volunteer. He was given leave from his day job as general counsel for Koch Industries. So Koch Industries, this was the way that Koch Industriesâ." (Omissions here were in the article itself. See interview at link.) If you dare.

grateful for Roberts. Without him there would probably be no Obamacare. I see no problem with people on how they spend their money. Again you ignored Soros and the rich hollywood elite giving millions to Dem causes. You also ignored the comment about Harry Reid"s fortune, and where it came from. Talk about bribery. Also look at all the money we have given out to Obama's doners over the last 5 years,with much of it never to be seen again. Solyndra is just one example. You will ignore the facts though, because you do not have anything to defend your side with other than lies.

the Libs start running. looks like Lunn is gone already. Nothing to say! Too bad, it is good entertainment. They are so insane its funny. All we can do is laugh to keep our own sanity. The sad part is there are a lot of Lunns out there. All we can do is keep hitting them up with the truth, something that stops them almost everytime.

The Koch's can't make Laws only Congress can, well now Obama can I guess but I would say his are not legal laws, but if no one challenges them in court he will get away with it. So I think the problem you are complaining about are with the powers in the Government.

about how international investigator Greg Palast laid out the Koch-Citizens United connection. My feel here is that Republicans know very little about their mentors. I guess you're not interested.

But I guess I have to put this in caps for y'all: CITIZENS UNITED MADE PAY TO PLAY LEGAL AND TURNED CORPORATIONS INTO PEOPLE AND MONEY INTO SPEECH SO THAT THE KOCHS AND SOROS CAN INFLUENCE ELECTIONS FAR BEYOND WHAT VOTERS CAN.

This has nothing to do with a personal vendetta against the Kochs or favoritism to the kind of politics Soros supports. This is about turning America into an oligarchy.

Fine. You think I'm an idiot, or brain-damaged, or a communist or whatever. Anything to denigrate somebody rather than actually think about what is actually going on in our republic.

This is why Bill Maher would say Republicans "live in a bubble." We should all be concerned about Citizens United changing our entire system into plutocratic governance. I'm not asking you to become a Democrat. I'm asking you to take a good hard look at what is going on to change our representative system into a political auction. You don't have the money to buy legislation: the Kochs and Soros do.

Explain to me why we should not go to a public-funded election system. I'll come back and listen to what you think. But if all you have is denigration for someone who disagrees with you, you're wasting my time and yours. You don't want to learn anything else. You have a cause. You have a crusade. Bravo. I'm impressed.

I have no problem with going to a public-fund election system, but I will say it again, that is a legislation problem so you should raise a stink to them. But it is not a doing of the Koch's. Heck you got old Harry Reid blames them for ever mistake the Democrats make. If they don't they do like you do change the subject. Are you ready to Blame them on Benghazi yet, where 4 died and the Democrat administration lied?
